Sinopse

A newlywed might be newly dead in this feline-flavored mystery featuring a septuagenarian sleuth who’s “an appealing Jessica Fletcher antecedent” (Publishers Weekly).   Priscilla Beckett has left a trail of suspicious exes in her wake—three former husbands who are convinced she tried to kill them. But this black-widow-to-be has found groom number four, and they’re happily honeymooning at a desert dude ranch.   The fourth time might be the charm for the murderous Priscilla, which is why Rachel Murdock is called in. With her contrarian sister and stealthy cat at her side, Rachel expects to find a dead body. She does—it’s just not who she thought it would be . . .   “The setting a phony dude ranch; the cast of characters, a set of ex-husbands, a lost sweetheart, a bride of uncertain antecedents, the owners and servant and guests of the ranch—and Miss Rachel to the rescue, annoying the local authorities, but turning up the right evidence at the right time . . . a pleasant antidote for the tough school.” —Kirkus Reviews  Praise for Dolores Hitchens and her mysteries   “You will never regret having made the acquaintance of Miss Rachel Murdock.” —The New York Times   “High-grade suspense.” —San Francisco Chronicle   “For those who enjoy Little-Old-Lady detectives, this should be a pleasing mystery, particularly if active LOLs are preferred . . . Both interesting and unusual is the motive for murder.” —Mystery File

    Lord Charles Sheridan and his American wife, Kate, are on an archaeologist dig, excavating sections of Hadrian's Wall, when they are summoned to Glamis Castle by King Edward. Nestled in the rugged Grampian Mountains, Glamis is the most historic castle in all of Scotland, a place teeming with dark secrets and haunting shadows. While Kate winds her way through the elaborate manor, gaining inspiration for her next Gothic novel, Lord Charles discovers the reason behind their journey. It seems Prince Eddy, heir to the throne until his purported death in 1892, has actually been alive all these years. Deemed unfit to rule, he has been living secretly at Glamis under an assumed name. But now the prince has gone missing—on the very morning the body of one of his servants was found, her throat slashed in a manner eerily reminiscent of the Ripper's. Now, Charles and his clever Kate must find Eddy and clear his name—while keeping his true identity a secret...
